The following functions are used in Windows Error Reporting. For examples that use these functions, see samples in the Windows SDK under WinBase\WindowsErrorReporting and WinBase\Debug\FailFast.
In this section
| Topic | Description |
|---|---|
| AddERExcludedApplication |
Excludes the specified application from error reporting. |
| PFN_WER_RUNTIME_EXCEPTION_EVENT |
WER calls this function to determine whether the exception handler is claiming the crash. |
| PFN_WER_RUNTIME_EXCEPTION_DEBUGGER_LAUNCH |
WER calls this function to let you customize the debugger launch options and launch string. |
| PFN_WER_RUNTIME_EXCEPTION_EVENT_SIGNATURE |
WER can call this function multiple times to get the report parameters that uniquely describe the problem. |
| ReportFault |
Enables an application that performs its own exception handling to report faults to Microsoft. |
| WerAddExcludedApplication |
Adds the specified application to the list of applications that are to be excluded from error reporting. |
| WerFreeString |
Frees up the memory used to store a report key string. This should be called after each successive call to WerStoreGetFirstReportKey or WerStoreGetNextReportKey, once the particular report key string has been used and is no longer needed. |
| WerGetFlags |
Retrieves the fault reporting settings for the specified process. |
| WerRegisterAdditionalProcess |
Registers a process to be included in the error report along with the main application process. Optionally specifies a thread within that registered process to get additional data from. |
| WerRegisterAppLocalDump |
Registers a path relative to the local app store for the calling application where Windows Error Reporting (WER) should save a copy of the diagnostic memory dump that WER collects when one of the processes for the application stops responding. |
| WerRegisterCustomMetadata |
Registers app-specific metadata to be collected (in the form of key/value strings) when WER creates an error report. |
| WerRegisterExcludedMemoryBlock |
Marks a memory block (that is normally included by default in error reports) to be excluded from the error report. |
| WerRegisterFile |
Registers a file to be collected when WER creates an error report. |
| WerRegisterMemoryBlock |
Registers a memory block to be collected when WER creates an error report. |
| WerRegisterRuntimeExceptionModule |
Registers a custom runtime exception handler that is used to provide custom error reporting for crashes. |
| WerRemoveExcludedApplication |
Removes the specified application from the list of applications that are to be excluded from error reporting. |
| WerReportAddDump |
Adds a dump of the specified type to the specified report. |
| WerReportAddFile |
Adds a file to the specified report. |
| WerReportCloseHandle |
Closes the specified report. |
| WerReportCreate |
Creates a problem report that describes an application event. |
| WerReportHang |
Initiates "no response" reporting on the specified window. |
| WerReportSetParameter |
Sets the parameters that uniquely identify an event for the specified report. |
| WerReportSetUIOption |
Sets the user interface options for the specified report. |
| WerReportSubmit |
Submits the specified report. |
| WerSetFlags |
Sets the fault reporting settings for the current process. |
| WerStoreClose |
Closes the collection of stored reports. |
| WerStoreGetFirstReportKey |
Gets a reference to the first report in the report store. |
| WerStoreGetNextReportKey |
Gets a reference to the next report in the error report store. |
| WerStoreOpen |
Opens the collection of stored error reports. |
| WerStoreQueryReportMetadataV2 |
Retrieves metadata about a report in the store. |
| WerUnregisterAdditionalProcess |
Removes a process from the list of additional processes to be included in the error report. |
| WerUnregisterAppLocalDump |
Cancels the registration that was made by calling the WerRegisterAppLocalDump function to specify that Windows Error Reporting (WER) should save a copy of the diagnostic memory dump that WER collects when one of the processes for the application stops responding. |
| WerUnregisterCustomMetadata |
Removes an item of app-specific metadata being collected during error reporting for the application. |
| WerUnregisterExcludedMemoryBlock |
Removes a memory block that was previously marked as excluded (it will again be included in error reports). |
| WerUnregisterFile |
Removes a file from the list of files to be added to reports generated for the current process. |
| WerUnregisterMemoryBlock |
Removes a memory block from the list of data to be collected during error reporting for the application. |
| WerUnregisterRuntimeExceptionModule |
Removes the registration of your WER exception handler. |
